Stevia

Native South Americans have used this leafy herb for centuries. The extract from stevia is 100 to 300 times sweeter than white sugar. It can be used in cooking, baking and beverages, does not affect blood sugar levels and has zero calories. Stevia is available in a powder or liquid form but be sure to get the green or brown liquids or powders (the white and clear versions are usually highly refined, and/or contain ‘other’ ingredients).
